## Resource

The Gordie Howe International Bridge is officially open, marking a historic moment for Detroit and Windsor after years of labor and thousands of workers’ dedication. Ironworkers Bob Godlewski and Casey Whitson, part of a 16,000-person crew, spent years high above the water, welding steel and pouring concrete under the sun — their pride in the finished structure palpable. With over 20 million work hours poured into this monumental project, the bridge will welcome cars on July 27th and pedestrians and cyclists by August 5th, reshaping trade and travel across the border. It’s not just infrastructure — it’s a tribute to grit, teamwork, and the dream of connection. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
